Unless he goes ahead and PCTs
Exactly.
A restart could be worth a shot with a long PCT. I'm talking around 6 months of clomid therapy. The reason for the length is because you want to work out of any atrophy, etc.
This is difficult for many psychologically. If they're convinced they *NEED* testosterone then they are not likely to even attempt a PCT to go natural.
But imagine how many other things could just fall into place if you were able to recover your natural hormone balance.
By introducing testosterone you're interfering with many other hormones downstream. Just the cessation of LH/FSH from testosterone supplementation is enough to prevent significant conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone. For those of you that don't know, pregnenolone is the "mother" hormone that all other hormones are produced from. It's the first steroid hormone (in a chain) we produce (from cholesterol).
This can all contribute to low sex hormones, low stress hormones (adrenal fatigue), impaired thyroid metabolism (hypothyroidism and/or high RT3), impaired neurological function, hypoglycemia, etc.
One thing for everyone that always wants to be on and hates the idea of PCT (because it's the end of a cycle), even during PCT you will have test levels above the normal range due to the high levels of LH the clomid will stimulate.
Anyone using a reasonable amount of clomid (with functional testicles) could get some bloodwork 2-3 weeks into their PCT and see that their testosterone levels are likely in the 800-900s+. Some people even cycle with JUST clomid.
And being "off" is not always bad. Many people function just fine with test levels in the 300-400s.
What a lot of people don't consider is the free/bio available testosterone. You can have high T but high SHBG/Albumin and end up with lower free testosterone (the good stuff) than someone with t levels in the 300s.
Kind of got off track there, but there is a misconception that always being on is great and this isn't necessarily true. The (healthy) body will strive for balance.
